Product Information

Either way, after unwisely dabbling with her father’s gigantic astral telescope, she finds herself transported across the universe to a decidedly unusual – and curiously unnamed –“Forbidden Planet”. impression of the Beaver edition which was first published in 1976, no inscriptions, illustrated by Larry Learmonth, bright attractive copy. All of these elements are present in Rebecca’s World: it only really needs the lingering threat of radiation poisoning for the complete Terry Nation Full House.

UPDATE: Thanks to ‘Joe Dredd’ on the Roobarb’s TV forum for pointing out the Rebecca was, in fact, the name of Terry Nation’s daughter. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. Remains particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Maybe I’m asking too much of a book clearly aimed at a very young audience, although it’s not a criticism I could level at – just thinking out loud here – The Wizard of Oz. UPDATE: Thanks to reader Mike Dickinson for pointing out that audio company Big Finish released a Paul Darrow-narrated adaptation of Rebecca’s World in 2010.

The titular lead character is a sparky young girl, bored to tears during a school holiday in her sprawling country home. In addition to her, some of the many other foci are:Laetitia Casta; Addicted to Sex; Blood Sport; Mug Me Tender; Metallica; World's Scariest Knife; Anka; Lauryn Hill; a lot more. At this stage, Nation’s influences become clearly apparent: we’re essentially thrown into a Milligan-esque reworking of The Wizard of Oz. A very scarce issue in this condition of the long-lived men's fashion and topical magazine, with the expected high level photography and fashion/style/celebrity journalism.

She has an unmistakably Edwardian quality – clearly reinforced by the book’s interior illustrations – although there’s also a single, slightly surprising reference to her once watching television. And to Chris Orton, who added that she also lent her name to the character of Rebec in Nation’s 1983 Doctor Who story, Planet of the Daleks. What separates it from the bulk of his TV work, however, is the book’s ultimate strength – a delightfully surreal and clearly Goons-inspired sense of humour. Until, that is, Mister Glister chopped the trees down to build said “GHOST shelters”, charging the public a small fortune to enter these tiny refuges, their only way to remain safe during the dangerous GHOST raids that frequently sweep the planet.We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there? I intended then to complete the rest of the book one day, so never let it be said that I don’t play a long game. The story is essentially a sequence of fairly unrelated incidents and set pieces, and never quite connects as an genuine journey, with character and consequence.

It’s almost possible to play Terry Nation Bingo with many of the scripts that the debonair Dalek supremo turned in for Doctor Who during his 1960s and 1970s heydey. Glister keeps the population subjugated by controlling – and charging for – access to shelters that will protect them from the murderous GHOSTS that are roaming the planet’s surface; and yes, the capitals are Nation’s, and are used throughout.Rebecca discovers that the planet is in thrall to the dastardly Mister Glister, a debonair tyrant with the sartorial tastes of Liberace. May also contain light spine creasing or a few markings such as an owner's name, short gifter's inscription or light stamp. Women's health and human right : the promotion and protection of women's health through international human rights law / Rebecca J. Very good cloth copy in a near-fine, very slightly edge-nicked and dust-dulled dust-wrapper, now mylar-sleeved. In 1982, my primary school teacher Mr Hirst read the opening chapters to me and my fellow ten-year-olds, shuffling impatiently on the parquet floor of Levendale Primary School.
